I am trying to establish a database on a MySQL database, wherere the MySQL
version is 5.x. Therefore, MySQL uses the new hashing algorithm with regards
to it's passwords.
The database is behind a firewall where I am given a hole through port 3306
to the IP where I am running php.
However, because of the password hashing algorithm in MySQL 5.x and the
incompatibility with the 4.x version of php I must run, I cannot
mysql_connect() -- I need to have the MySQL password altered by:
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'some_user'@'some_host' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');
My question is, is there some way I can perform this MySQL command,
remotely, via say php, given how stuck I am per the above! -Ike
